A submerged station from World War II's 'Death Railway' has resurfaced in Thailand. Maintenance at Vajiralongkorn Dam drained the hydropower facility's reservoir, revealing Nithe Station for the first time in more than 40 years, according to CaledonianRecord.com. The 'Death Railway' was a major depot on the historic 415-kilometer (258-mile) route that connected Siam and Burma, modern-day Thailand and Myanmar, according to CaledonianRecord.com. During World War II, around 50,000 Allied prisoners of war and hundreds of thousands of Asian laborers were forced to build the railway by the Empire of Japan, according to CaledonianRecord.com. More than 12,000 of the POWs and 90,000 laborers died during construction, according to CaledonianRecord.com.
